It’s the organic, effortless, little moments that will make your wedding day memorable.  Shannon and Darren never fancied a large traditional wedding.  Their hearts took them to Ireland, where they envisioned an intimate ceremony full of meaning with their dearest loved ones, exploring the gorgeous scenery and cliffs, then celebrating after in a low-key, super […]

This week’s post has us crushing on a sweet elopement romantic in its simplicity.  Lisa and David eloped to Galway. They hosted a simple, traditional ceremony with some light Catholic notes.  A romantic dinner followed and most of the fun was had exploring the area together with their photographers, Awake and Dreaming Photography. We love […]

It’s the end of August. School supplies await in marked bags, lined up from youngest to oldest. A pink flamingo velvet backpack in soon-to-be-not mint condition hangs in between an appallingly obnoxious sequence unicorn backpack and noble blue Jansport. The weather is starting its war: warm, bright sunny days try to hold on against the increasing […]

One of our all time favorite locations in all of Ireland is the world-famous Cliffs of Moher.  Located in County Clare in western Ireland, these sea cliffs sour about 400 feet into the sky over the Atlantic Ocean below.  It’s a truly breathtaking place to visit where you feel like you’re on top of the […]

Brian and Kimberley’s elopement to Ireland is exactly what we’re talking about when we say Ireland is a really special place that will truly embrace you and make your entire wedding experience one you’ll never forget. Besides the incredible scenery and breathtaking backdrops, one distinguishable factor is the people. “We did not have a first […]

By far, the coolest couple so far this year goes to Jennifer and Scott. When their gallery came in I was blown away on so many levels: that dress, that castle (!), all the cool little details… the cake topper! (love!) Jennifer and Scott came to us looking to secretly elope to Ireland. “We both […]

Some may view getting married abroad as a nerve-wracking gamble of sorts: “I haven’t seen the venue! I won’t be able to try hair and makeup trials — how will I know if it will work?!  Will the florist understand my vision?”  The answer to these is a resounding “it will all be fine and […]

When pouring over our weddings in the latter half of 2017 I instantly stopped when I got Kelly and Adam’s gallery from their September elopement in Donegal. Absolutely stunning doesn’t begin to describe it. We’ve often talked here on the blog about how varied the geography can be in Ireland, and how we encourage couples […]

Normally we start our real wedding features with a bit of an introduction and background of our featured couple. When I got Hayley and Spencer’s gallery, however, I was simply blown away. The photos — exquisitely captured once again by Awake and Dreaming Photography— tell their story in such a unique and powerful way, that […]

I’ve written so many times trying to describe in words how colorful Ireland can be. It’s a welcomed reprieve this rainy morning to look over the gorgeous photos of Bridget and Preston’s intimate elopement this past spring. I often call the Atlantic waters in Ireland “sapphire” and describe the eastern coastline as a “carpet of […]
